Why raichu and not rotom scarf ?
We were testing it and jt was very good into venu + sneasler
Very cool
Makes sense for sneasler
Forgot about that
Oh yeah
We were theory crafting
Forgot that existed
It's pretty good
I just wish there was a slot for terrain
It feels like there would be with Raichu alola
We went like 7-3 on the ladder and lost to bad mus or just piloting issues lwk.
We beat miku
I know but it kinda feels like it
Well
Well just made the team n chucked it on ladder
Oh 100%
Why a-raichu?
Not complaining, just curious
Oh, sneasler and venu? I see
Team looks pretty nice actually
Its also way more naturally fast
Maybe 14 speed so it outspeeds max speed scarfed basc
Female basc lowk is a huge problem for this team
Muddy water for ttar and exca, sball for raichu
8 speed outspeeds timid chomp Za
Ice beam for sceptile
I disagree
Still underspeeds scarfed basc
No it doesnt
Scarf basc is at max 214
If it runs max speed jolly
143 speed + scarf
Ye
214
sceptile naturally outspeeds too
How fast is your scarfed raichu
At 216 mea
225
How do you deal with female basc?
You outspeed?
Sceptile.
Knock off t tar
It has swift swim
You have sand
You keep saying "oh it outspeeds"
Fair
Comes down to weather wars
Thats like saying "how do out outspeed unburden 32 sneasler
You just dont
Lmao I was confused and thought raichu undersped basc because I didn’t factor in timid yet
What if psyspam mode with eforce raichu?
Not saying its good
Just a random idea I suddenly had
I thought about it
Do you think it would work?
Just volc seems better
And i dont like doublimg psychic
Fair
